US has reduced their global carbon emissions over the last 20 years. We were a peak of 55% of global emissions to less than 13% today, and continue to drop (we were 23% in 2000).

Even when adjusting for trade, it is down considerably over the last 20 years. Mainly due to dematerialization, basically a free market economy doing more with less (e.g. efficient packaging uses less materials and is cheaper).

US and the Western world can continue reducing carbon emissions and it won't make a bit of difference.

This statistic completely ignores the fact that the US externalizes its' CO2 emissions by externalizing by sending our manufacturing to other countries.

How much of China's CO2 is a result of the products Americans buy that were manufactured in China?

If we look at CO2 as a result of consumption it would tell a truer story.
